Our studies were concerned with the reactions occurring during mild oxidation. This paper deals with model experiments on one of the possible reaction sequences—namely, the formation of biphenyl structures and oxidative degradation. Numerous oxidation experiments with suitable lignin models were performed, and during these studies we determined the rate of oxygen consumption by the compounds dissolved in 0.27V NaOH at 70°C. A detailed description of our method is given under Experimental. 

On the other hand, catalyst efficiency was defined as the ratio of the calculated Mn to the experimental Mn (Eq. (34b)]. The calculated M was determined from the ratio of grams of monomer per mole of metalating agent the experimental Mn was determined by measuring the Mn of the styrene block after oxidative degradation of the polybutadiene backbone. 

The fructose portion of sucrose resisted attack for some years. Then it became clear that the ring present in the tetramethyl 7 -D-fructose was of the 1,4 or butylene oxide variety and that it was 1,3,4,6-tetra-methyl-D-fructofuranose, one of the clearest experimental proofs of this being the oxidative degradation of tetramethyl 7 -D-fructose to 2,3,5-trimethyl-D-arabonic acid. 

Ozonation has been demonstrated to be a superior method of oxidative degradation for lignins, and it offers special promise for studying in situ lignins. Refinements in the experimental procedure and more sophisticated correlation of known and yet-to-be-identified products with substrate structure can be expected. 

Petcavich et al. (1978) employed IR subtraction techniques to elucidate the mechanism of the oxidative degradation of polychloroprenes at 60 °C. The spectra were taken at 60 2°C. The results lead to the conclusion that 1,2- and 3,4-structural irregularities are involved in the initial stage of the thermal oxidation of these compounds at 60 °C. In addition, a simple free radical mechanism seems to be consistent with the experimental results. The observed results suggest that polychloroprenes may be stabilized towards oxidative degradation by eliminating the 1,2- and 3,4-structures by chemical modification of the polymer after synthesis. 

Pyrrolecarboxylic acids are the final products of oxidative degradation of eumelanins. The origin, reaction conditions, as well as the isolation and identification techniques used are the factors responsible for the different ratios of di-, tri-, and tetracarboxylic acids formed (7). Thus, untreated sepiomelanin and a number of synthetic melanins oxidized via KMNO4 showed the following trend in the relative ratios of pyrrolecarboxylic acids 2,3,5 2,3 = 2,3,4,5. The same samples after decarboxylation at 200°C followed the sequence 2,3,5 > 2,3 > 2,5 2,4 = 2,3,4,5. The decrease in 2,3,5 triacids and the increase in 2,3 diacids are attributed to the loss of carboxyl groups owing to the thermal treatment (7). Resistance to further oxidative degradation u der specific experimental conditions may substantially influence the ratio of the individual pyrrolecarboxylic acids formed (315). 

To clarify the mechanisms of the clay-reinforced carbonaceous char formation, which may be responsible for the reduced mass loss rates, and hence the lower flammability of the polymer matrices, a number of thermo-physical characteristics of the PE/MMT nanocomposites have been measured in comparison with those of the pristine PE (which, by itself is not a char former) in both inert and oxidizing atmospheres. The evolution of the thermal and thermal-oxidative degradation processes in these systems was followed dynamically with the aid of TGA and FTIR methods. Proper attention was paid also to the effect of oxygen on the thermal-oxidative stability of PE nanocomposites in their solid state, in both the absence as well as in the presence of an antioxidant. Several sets of experimentally acquired TGA data have provided a basis for accomplishing thorough model-based kinetic analyses of thermal and thermal-oxidative degradation of both pristine PE and PE/MMT nanocomposites prepared in this work. 

Buffer additives are attractive for enhancing SO2 removal and/or CaC03 utilization in lime/limestone slurry scrubbing processes for flue gas desulfurization. This work was sponsored by EPA to provide experimental data on commercial synthesis, gas/liquid mass transfer enhancement, and oxidative degradation of useful buffer additives. 

Substituted mandelic acids are key compounds in the synthesis of vanillin from phenols. However, the KIE observed during the oxidative degradation of mandelic acid into benzaldehyde is extremely dependent on the experimental conditions.
